Licensure and practice rules in New Jersey
AANP classifies New Jersey as a reduced practice state. New Jersey generally requires NPs to have joint protocols with a collaborating physician in order to prescribe or order medications and devices. Under a 2026 law, NPs in a qualifying population focus with more than 5,000 hours of advanced practice who provide primary or behavioral health care, and do not provide general obstetrics or elective aesthetic or cosmetic services, may practice and prescribe without a joint protocol.
